by A clinical trial management system (CTMS) is a software system used by biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to manage clinical trials in clinical research. CTMS is used to maintain and manage planning, performing and reporting functions, along with participant contact information, tracking deadlines and milestones. It also manages investigator payments and allows for managing complete clinical supply chain. CTMS offers various advantages over paper-based systems as it improves protocols, ensures regulatory compliance, speeds up reporting time and monitors performance metrics in real-time.
Market Dynamics: The global clinical trial management system market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1120.48 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
The growing adoption of digital technologies in healthcare sector is a major driver expected to flourish the clinical trial management system market over the forecast period. The use of cloud computing, blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies are making clinical trials more efficient and cost-effective. For example, AI can help improve site feasibility, patient recruitment, retention and monitor trials in real-time. Similarly, blockchain facilitates transparency and ensures security of trial data. Covid-19 pandemic has further accelerated the digitalization of clinical trials as regulatory agencies encouraged decentralized and remote trials using digital health tools.
